About

Based on one of the most celebrated Dutch type designs of the early twentieth century, this family balances clean elegance in its regular weights with a sturdier character in the bolds. Built-in small caps, four condensed fonts and four book fonts give it considerable range for text composition. Decorative initials and period ornaments round out a historically grounded family.
